By the Tide Thank You! DD #86 DS133

Today's card is for the Dynamic Duos Color Challenge and the Deconstruction Sketch.  The sketch is such a perfect sketch for the stamp set I wanted to use.  The Pool Party and Pink Pirouette are so calming.  I am home and  recovering from knee replacement and my "Serenity Now" thoughts take me to a quiet beach with warm sun and a refreshing breeze.  My dear Friend, Maxine is spending the month in Mexico, so honey----this card is for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
